Versus cycles in with more live Lance on the Tour de California

Versus, home of the Tour de France since Lance Armstrong made it must-watch TV back in the day, announced today it will go “wall-to-wall” with the fourth Amgen Tour of California starting Feb. 14 at 2 p.m.

This is the third year Versus has covered the race, which runs through the San Fernando Valley, but this year it’s got a bigger profile with Armstrong using it as a prep for his return to the Tour de France this summer. As a result, Versus will air all nine days, including live in the middle stages for the first time.

The 750-mile, nine-day race from Sacramento to San Diego is covered by Phil Ligget and Paul Sherwen.

Versus is doing the 2009 Tour Down Under event with 30-minute highlight shows at 1 p.m. through Saturday. More live streaming on the network’s website: www.versus.com. The final recap is Sunday at 2 p.m.
